It is ground breaking.  I literally yelled "Shut Up!" when Sarah, our CEO, demonstrated it (everyone at the Stampin' Up! OnStage laughed).  If you stamp, craft, create.. this is for you.  The ever popular stamping tools like this are LACKING in comparison to this amazing tool.  Stampin' Up! with Leader to Leader group of over 2,000 demonstrators spent TWO YEARS Designing this tool.  

It is a MUST HAVE!

OKAY. I’VE GOTTA HAVE ONE. HOW DO I GET IN LINE?

With the launch of this tool, we’re trying something different: testing a new reservation system. It acts like a true preorder: you reserve your spot and we guarantee shipment as soon as the product arrives in our warehouse. Demonstrators and customers will place reservations and receive their product at the same time. This system will allow us to get the product to market as soon as possible while avoiding backorders and efficiently managing inventory.

The global launch will feature three reservation windows. For each window, please note the following:

• Reservation quantities are while supplies last.
• Limit is 3 tools per demonstrator and 1 tool per customer per reservation window. (Note: The Stamparatus is not a Cash-and-Carry item so I can not sell you one directly - you will have to reserve one and order it online.)
• We may participate in multiple reservation windows.
• In order to reserve your Stamparatus, you are required to provide your credit card information.
• Credit cards will not be charged until the Stamparatus ships from our facility. When you close your order, be sure to verify that your credit card and shipping information is correct.

Red Carpet Event

Ohhh yeah, baby!! I was sooo excited to be invited to join the 2104 Catalog Premier in a Red Carpet Event held by Stampin' Up!  With a week to plan my wardrobe (there are so many options!!) and a road trip with my stampin' team... I was over the moon.  Throw in the NEW CATALOG - coming out in June... my excitement was palatable!!  So Join Me in this snippet of the fun we had... sadly, I can't share what all that we saw or brought home... not on my blog and not yet.  JOIN ME and see the new Catalog at an upcoming event or schedule a time to see the goodies inside (and what we brought home).

The road trip to Long Beach had me meeting up with my stampin' sisters in Encino.. where we lunched and loaded into my car for this fun adventure!!  The CEO, Shelli, and staff presented - even handing the goodies out personally!!  DID YOU See the Fun we were having??  FOLLOW ME on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and be in the know!!

Shopping!  As ifffff I'd need an excuse - lol.  I did grab these sparkling new shoes with a pretty long, dark blue eyelet maxi dress and threw on my grey lace shrug.  With my collection of jewelry and new Cinderella inspired shoes... I was excited to hook up with my upline and dear friend Susie, our team of girls... and road trip it!!  (I wish the whole crew could have made it - but the fun car load was a great break!!)

Ohhhh Myyyyy Goshhhh!!  EEEEEK!!!! 

I'm IN-LOVE!  First, the catalog is probably one of the best lay-outs I've seen in a decade!  Then it's filled with beautiful collections, variety of styles and new tools... let's just say that I'm over the moon!!  EEEEK!!!!

Those who attended the event for the Red Carpet (in Long Beach) came home with a BOX of the New Catalogs, four stamp sets, two papers, craft collection... sigh... a dream!!  So SIGN UP for an event and be the FIRST to see the goodies - up close and personal!!

Loaded up, I was so busy having fun, on Facebook with my team giving sneak peaks (they were so bummed to miss out on this amazing event) and then posting the fun on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook... it was a great night and we scored an amazing collection to play with!!

Having gotten home at 10pm, a 9 hour adventure on top of my regular mom and volunteering activities... I was a tuckered out girl!!  Today was a coffee must as I delved into the new catalog!!  Go ahead, come and stamp with me... the fun has just begun... and it's waiting for YOU!! 

Feeling Sentimental, Framed

Working with the Trinity Home School kids we created cards for the soldiers serving abroad.. HERE is a sampling of a fun card using the Feeling Sentimental Sale-A-Bration stamp set (just sooo stunning!) as the girls flipped over the Call Box, similar to the Doctor Who Call Box..

The Framed Tulips Folder and Big Shot is a perfect fit for this stamp set - the Chocolate Chip ink on the Crumb Cake card stock is a classic neutral mix. 

 

Using the Sponge Daubers to age and highlight the frame was a blast for all who came!

The great thing about the Clear Mounted Stamps is the easy of switching out image and sentiment... the girls were besides themselves while playing with the variety!  Being easier to carry (because the clear mounted are slimer to store and carry) is a highlight to me as I had one carrier for my 5 card projects!

With 16 girls from Jr High on up.... we created over 90 cards for the soldiers in a matter of 2 hours!  WOW!!  Impressive work by amazing girls (and Mom helpers!). 

 

This FREE Stamp set is a favorite of mine and with a limited time to get it... you don't want to miss out!  Ask me about Sale A Bration and how to get YOURS, for FREE!!

Floral District is Framed!

I grew up LOVING court shows and murder mysteries...

my dad was addicted and often watched them with me...

I LOVED when I they revealed who was FRAMED (dum, dum, dummmmm). 

 

HERE I am able to Frame something... well, OK so it's the Floral District Paper, Rich Razzleberry Card stock and the Floral Frames Framelits do all the framing... lol.. with the accomplice of the Big Shot (dum, dum, dummmmm)

ha, ha, ha!

One of my Daisy Girl Scouts, Jessica, had her 7th birthday today and it happened to land on our meeting date!  We hiked the girls over for some ice cream while we looked to see how the animals take care of themselves. 

 

I created this fun lil card and coordinating gift bag for her little gift.

 

 

Using Baja Breeze for the cardstock base (the colors for the Designer Series Papers are listed in the Idea Book and Mini's under the item number, how easy is that?!?!).  Using the Floral Frames Framelits and Big Shot I cut out these layering flowers twice - on the DSP and the Rich Razzleberry Cardstock.

 

Alternating the pattern and colored cardstock is a fun way to enjoy this layered flowers!  With SNAIL Adhesive I did a large X and then applied the cardstock and DSP alternating.  The Largest flower is too big for the card so I left it off.  Before adhering the center down I punched a small hole and used the whiter Antique Brad - it has a floral pattern while the white picks up the DSP.  Using Mini Glue Dots I adhered this down - the back of the brad hidden and the strength of the glue dots holding such a heavy embellishment down.

 

This sweet girl is so full of life - I couldn't resist adding a fun looking sentiment.  The Wacky Wishes Hostess stamp set from the Idea Book is PERFECT!  The Rich Razzleberry ink pops on the Baja Breeze cardstock, too!

 

Sweeten this up with the Basic Jewels Pearls in the greeting, it adds a richness and sweetness to a fun sentiment.

Using a Mini White Lunch bag for her gift bag (we gave her a canned criter) and the remaing punched out flowers I SNAILed it down and now it coordinates!  Easy Peasy (lemon squeezy) and CUTE to Boot!

Don't you love when it's easy to create a gift bag that coordinates with a card?  When a lovely card (and bag) are easy to create with stunning papers?

(Me, too!)

Cool Tools!

I grew up watching and loving Tim Allen as the bumbling handyman/tool man Tim/Dad. Who knew that they made such great tools for us girls!

These were some of the goodies I nabbed at the Stampin' Up! 24th Annual Convention this year! I love, love, love these cutie patooties! What do you think??

Tools for around the house and even the coolest water bottle in Midnight Muse!!! (Growing up this what I dreamed my first vintage mustang or truck would be painted!!! Almost black but luscious blue!!). Now I have a new friend to take to my 5am workouts! Today was Abs with Sharlene, tomorrow Melinda and I will do Spin with the amazing Sharlene!

Gooooo for the gold!! Hmmmm what to hammer or measure around here?? My girls have measured the doors, our dogs head and my foot... Lol.
